According to statistics released this week by SolarPower Europe, the European solar industry grew at a growth rate of 104% and is experiencing an "installation boom" in 2019, the best year
in the history of the European solar photovoltaic industry.

The data shows that the European region added 16.
7 GW of solar installations in 2019, a 104% year-on-year increase and more than
double the 8.
2 GW increase a year ago.

Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, said: "The installation boom shows that solar energy in Europe is on track
.
In 2019, we entered a new era of solar development, adding more installations than any other power generation technology
.
”

Aurélie Beauvais, policy director at SolarPower Europe, believes that the sharp increase in solar installations is mainly due to
the sharp decline in the cost of solar PV modules.

However, the good performance was also driven by policy measures to meet the deadline for EU countries to meet their legally binding renewable energy targets by 2020
.

In 2019, Spain was the largest market in Europe, with 4.
7 GW of new additions, followed by Germany (4 GW), the Netherlands (2.
5 GW), France (1.
1 GW) and Poland (784 MW).

By the end of 2019, SolarPower Europe said the EU will have a total of 131.
9 GW of installed solar capacity, up 14%
from 2018.
